Apologies: Karen Trist, Jeremy Yuille.
There: Cathy Greenfield, Yoko Akama, Jeremy Parker, Adrian Miles.
Reported on where the formal documentation is up to. Finalising the final, last, hopefully for now, changes to the Program Guide, and the Part A course guides. These are then being submitted to the College for consideration, and hopefully then to Building One. The program guide outlines program capabilities and which subjects/courses link to and teach which of the capabilities.
Will keep regular updates out to the School via the School newsletter. If we get through the next approval round then will also see if we can present a brief outline of honours to the next whole school meeting.
Key Tasks for 2011
- draft vision dash mission statement for honours
- develop a bibliography/collection of key resources to inform our thinking about honours
- detailed planning, structuring and scaffolding of the entire curriculum for delivery in 2012
To be confirmed:
- Do Part B course guides need to go through an approval process?
- At what point in 2011 do issues around staffing (who is going to teach these things) need to begin? Finished?
- What governance structure needs to emerge from the working group?
We will begin again in February, fortnightly hourly meetings with the main task to develop specific curricula for each subject.
